The Breckinridge wing of the democracy toda very respectable and decidedly en thusiastic meeting at Payette, last Monday, ‘The official proceeding will be found in an other column., The party is much stron ger in old Howard than anyone supposed, as will be seen by the names of those who participated in the meeting. Douglas men estimate that there were from two to three hundred Breckinridgeites now in the coun ty, and as one of them said to us “deng ‘em they are growing stronger, every day. — May they increase! The great feature of the meeting was the speech of Judge James A. Clark, of Chari ton. He spoke nearly three hours, and made one of the most effective stamp speech es we have heard for many a day. We took full notes of the speech, but our want of space prevents us giving anything more than a very meagre synopus. ‘The democratic party, said sir, is divi ded. Divided upon what? Not upon principle, but about men. He stood by principle, and was against all who forsook principle, and followed men whether [nom inees” or not. The State Convention adopt ed a platform of principles—it numinated a State ticket upon that platform, and sent delegates to Charleston. The Charleston Convention ignored these principles, at the bidding of Stephen A. Douglas, and his followers, who were determined to rule or ruin. The Convention split up, and those democrats who acted from principle, went out, raised the true democratic standard, and nominated Jno. C. Breckinridge, a true and tried democrat. After breaking up the party, a portion of delegates who remained, nominated Stephen A. Douglas, and now the men who helped testife—the 2nen of our own State who betrayed the party, forsook their principles to follow Douglas, and who are scarcely old enough in the democratic party to have ring on their horns, bray out’ nominee,” and undertake ‘to feed such venerable spd life long demo crats as my old friend Dr. Lowry, out of the party! Strange times these when such democrats as him, your epesker, and others Isec here, who have been Democrats all their lives, are to be read out of their par ty by these new converts, because we will not forsake our principles, and run off with men who are no democrats at heart, and of fer a teap who is not a democrat. This man Douglas is nho democrat in principle, was not nominated by a Democratic Convention, and these “nominee bravers'’’ dare not ad vocate his election as a democrat, on demo cratic principles. The same course of rea soning would compel democrats to support Seward, Lincoln, Chare or even Fred Doug las! A “nominee” who does not stand up on a democratic platform, has no claims up on democrats. How absurd then to call Upon democrats to support m be jusl free teil, nominee, upon an anti-democratic plat form. New democrats, no democrats, beardless boys, and eight by ten newspa pera tony bray sbout “nominees,” but they will never induce true democrats to leave democratic principles to vote for such as “nomminee” as Stephen A. Douglas. ‘The Missouri ares to and compared with the Jankson resolutions, as showing the sentiments of the democracy of Missouri, upon the slavery question— the only question at issue. Now, said the Judge, the Gelegstes from Missouri who went to Charleston, with these instructions, betrayed their party and violated its fun amental principles, when they voted for Douglas, He here went into review of, etree ae and showed], wes not neminated; he plainly, nd rely of Gen. Chath scion ar a delegate, sud his course since. A re ceat of his in St. Louis was read ed on, and no little sport made of the Generale rags stout democratic victorien during the last a nd territorial question, and Douglas, Position was examined, and commented unp op, “Unfriendly Legislation was ex plained, and its freesoilism made to “stick out.” Under this head the whale territo rial question was examined, and squatter sovereignty plainly marked as the half-way house to Republicanism. The democrats, who started out with Douglas, in opposi tion to the administration on the Lecomp ton issue, had joined the Republicans, almost too men. Well might Burlingsme say [he was glad to see Douglas fish for he knew those who marched under it, were nearing the Republican camp. Those who first started under fit, were now nating with the Republicans, and he warned his oid democratic friends to look about them, examine the principles proclaimed, and we Where they were being led. ‘The Douglasites are fearful the State will go for Bell. ‘The State is safe for Brackin ridge, but far better go for Bell than Doug las He would go a thousand times for Bell, before he would take one step toward the “half way house” to Republicanism.— The votes of Bell and Donglas were read, showing that while Hell voted with Atohi sson, Clay, and Webster, Douglas voted with Seward, Chase and other abolitionists, for the Wilmot Proviso. “He voted under instructions,” said Tam Denglasiter. Yes, he was instructed, but afterwards said he deed not have been instructed as to that vote! We were deceived and betrayed at the last election. We voted for the State and Congressional candidates, under at least an implied pledge that the Presidential canvass was not to be disturbed by those candidates, but Clark and Jackson are still advocating Douglas, and indirectly claim their election jo be Douglas triumph. He would rather Pe. Hancock Jackson, with his eleven thou sand true democratic followers, than held the highest office in the gift of the people, if that position was to be gained by an aban donment of principle. The Missouri Republican, Clark, Neel and Drake, were now attempting to rule the democracy—were trying to lead them astray after Douglas and his free soil heresies, and essaged to read Green, Polk, Lowrey, and such democrats out of the party. Pret ty fellows they! All of them now con verse, and the very fellows to do dirty jobs. He read the whole batch out, because they and their man Douglas were no democrats, and could not induce true democrats to start on the half-way road to Black Republican ism, by braying ‘‘nominee.” There was no regular nominee, Breckinridge was nomi nated by democrats, on a democratic plat form, and if they wanted to act with the desecrate, they must support him and his platform. ITEXS. Breckinridge was to speak in Lexington, Kentucky, yesterday, ‘The premium filly, owned by Thos. Bo gie, was sold at the Fayette Fair, to Geo. Wiley, for $300. Gus. Elgin's premium bull, “Senator,” crossed the river the other day, on his way to Seline. Some of our Saline friends talk of purchasing him. He is a whale! Douglas is still on the stump. The Fayette Beil men have the tallest pole in this neek of woods. Eldis, Allen, Gano and Burton closed a m meeting last week at Richland Church, du ring which some forty persons joined the church. The State meeting of the Christian Church in this place, closed its business session on Saturday. Preaching was con tinued until Monday night. The steamer Asa Wilgas” sunk near Herman, Monday morning. Messrs. Till men Phipps, of this place had about $5,000 worth of goods on her. She had a valuable cargo, which with the boat, will be Lost. We were favored with an excellent show er yesterday mooning. Thanks to Him! who sends rain upon the unjust, as well as the just. Judge Clark demolished Douglas, and a host of lesser lights of the free soil wing— gave us a passing notice—and warmed the wax in neighbor Nandall's ears. Cultivate, your beard, neighbor! The Saline and Randolph Fairs are both In progress. As we can't attend both, we are likely to compromise and stay at home. Scatter ‘em The Howard Fair was the most success ful one ever held. Took in more money— I had wore articles and stock—more men and women, present than ever before. The tournament was rich and rare! The Douglasites of old Howerd had their eyes opened last Monday. Judge Clark split them open, and Cunninghars scattered thes. [tis said that Douglas dries up a quarter day. Capt. Reid, of the Fifth District, is of for Douglas. Gen. T. L. Price, of Cole, is spoken of) or Speaker. Garat Avertos—A Rast Cunner for Bancatws—Jobe H. Lewis, Assignee of D. Glass, commenced selling off a large and valued stock of merchandise, at public auc tion, fast Monday, and will continue the sale from day to day until the entire stock is disposed of. ‘The invoice amounts to some $3,000, and as the sale is positive, and without reserve or regard to the cost, a fine opportionity is offered to secure bargains. Persons i want of goods should attend.— Sale every day.
